My Pro-Com heater's burner keeps going out...help please?
I have a new Pro-Com heater and the burner keeps going out after a couple of minutes. When the pilot light is on, it seems strong and is right on the thermocouple. After I turn the burner on, the pilot light starts to flicker. I think what's happening is it's either not getting enough gas to power both or something else is causing the pilot to flicker. When this happens, the thermocouple cools and shuts it down.
We had a Dearborn in the same location with the same issue. We thought it was just that the Dearborn was older and hadn't been used in a while. We also didn't like messing with pilot lights.
I thought it was the valve that was on it. It had a smaller hole and needed adaptors to fit the 3/8" hose. I put a new valve on it and we're still having the same problem. I hope someone can help...it's getting cold!
I was thinking it was a draft, but I can't feel anything around there. Also the pilot is fine when it's on by itself. I would assume if there were a draft, it would blow the pilot around a bit.

My guess you have a draft blowing the flame off the thermal coupling , which then shuts it down. If this turns out to be so. build a attractive closet around it, this was my solution, the closet is open at the top, didn't want the thing leaking in an in-closed space and boom.

Remove flue pipe from heater to chimney. Clean out all carbon and check chimney riser, it may be plugged. Clean burner baffle from burner to top of heater. Remove heater burner and clean all orifices. Blow carbon out with compressed air. Re- assemble and light the heater. Flame should be burning Blue not Yellow. Adjust air intake tubes in burner until burner is burning blue.

I also have a lighting problem. I can,t seem to be able to turn the kob to keep fire going after lighting it fights me and turns off as I try to go to continuous burn. It is not a draft problem since I have used the stove for about 10 years?
